This M&M Cake has the ultimate twist - and is thick, chewy, buttery and undeniably delicious! M and M Cake is fun for every occasion including birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and so much more!
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Swirl until brown in color and it has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Gradually blend in cooled brown butter.
Gently blend in eggs, careful not to over mix, until just combined.
Sprinkle baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour over mixture and fold until combined.
Allow batter to cool slightly and fold in M&Ms.
Scoop dough into greased baking dish or pan until just over half full. (You can freeze excess dough).
Press M&M's into the top of the cake and bake 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown, depending how thick your cake is.
Notes
Tips
Don't over-mix.
Allow butter to cool.
To prevent edges from over baking, don't press dough all the way to the edges. Allow 1/2" perimeter. Bring it to It will spread.
For perfect M&M's you can press them in IMMEDIATELY after baking, I put them in before, but don't mind a few cracks.
